Interlude Editions Presents First ‘Cold Mountain Collection’
Early Autumn
by Coleman Barks, preeminent translator of the 13th-century mystic poet, Rumi.
Entitled “Early Autumn,” the 2008 Cold Mountain Collection features 20 poems by Coleman Barks, the preeminent translator of the work of the 13th-century Persian mystic poet Rumi, and a poet in his own right. All but two of the 20 poems are being published for the first time in ‘Early Autumn.’ Barks has said that the poems were inspired by the 13th-century Chinese painting, also titled ‘Early Autumn’ (currently in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts), by the Chinese master painter Qian Xuan.

Starting this year, and annually hereafter, Interlude Editions will publish and offer for sale an edition of a fine-press, handcrafted artist’s book, in three different formats: Deluxe, Collector, and Chapbook.
